Dolphins, blue water, enjoyable movie!
I love Dolphins so I loved this movie. After the movie, I researched where it was filmed and who provided the dolphins. Apparently filmed on the island of Grand Bahama, Bahamas and dolphins provided by Unexsco.... who offer tours where you can meet the dolphins. I'd love to find out whether their dolphins are, as Rasca is portrayed in the movie, "free to come and go". Although I love dolphins I have refused to ever go to a facility where the dolphins are held in large tanks and you can get up close and personal; when you see the dolphin in this movie swim at great speed for miles, you understand just how awful this is.I particularly appreciated the dig at the Navy Sonar program - I sign all the petitions demanding they stop this dreadful procedure as hundreds and sometimes thousands of dolphins and whales and other marine life is damaged by this.Overall it was a good story, at times a little unlikely, but no matter. The dolphins, the water, the overall feel of the movie is heart warming and good and that's what's important for me. I enjoyed it, it is suitable for all ages and so yes, I recommend it. If you love dolphins, please sign the petitions online to prevent solar testing, to stop tourist attractions that feature captive dolphins and don't support Sea World in San Diego who are responsible for killing so many dolphins and whales!

Good, but not great
Beneath the Blue was a good, clean, family movie. The underwater filming was great and as someone who knows of a teen who died of a blackout I appreciated the warning about free diving.I rented this movie because I volunteer a lot with ocean conservation efforts. Apparently this is a sequel to "Eye of the Dolphin" which I will watch soon to better understand some of the character backgrounds. There were definitely a few moments when I felt like the third person left out of insider information. But, overall, I enjoyed meeting the characters and thought all the acting was well done. Some of the lines made me roll my eyes, but I assume the target audience is young teens. I did wish some of the scenes between Alyssa and Craig would have been longer to flesh out their attraction to each other (I wanted to know what was going on in their heads more). Also, I had no idea how old Alyssa and Craig were supposed to be... originally I thought teenagers, but Craig is in military and Alyssa doesn't seem to attend any kind of school. Could they be older than 18? I don't suppose age matters too much, but this is one example where a couple longer conversation scenes could have fleshed out the characters. The romantic storyline seemed very choppy to me.... probably for the sake of the ecological message.The ecological message in this movie is based on Navy sonar testing that harmed dolphins and whales in 2000. I thought this movie would show the scientist's campaign to hold the Navy accountable to better precautions, but I was wrong. This storyline is overshadowed by a rouge navy officer who wants to make a profit by selling one of the wild dolphins--who was previously trained to be a military asset (what?). The "villian" rouge navy officer attempts to frame an animal rights group and overall the rouge officer's character was very awkward (can't say if it was the script or the actor). The audience never sees how the two storylines work together--even at the end.Overall a good movie. All the elements for a great movie were there, but a little more character and story development could have made this a great movie.

Great Family Movie
Arrived on time and in great condition! This is the first movie I seen with Paul Wesley in, on TV, and I just had to buy it. I knew he was great on "The Vampire Diaries" but, he is truly a great actor. This movie comes with Special Features: Cast Interviews with Paul Wesley and Caitlin Wachs and Featurette: Working With The Dolphins. This movie has romance, betrayal, and danger. I know that there is a old saying "What you don't know can't hurt you" but that's not always true. This movie proves it. If this movie gets worn out I will buy it again.

Nice Clean Family Movie
A nice clean family movie with a bit of mystery and a bit of suspense--enough to keep it interesting the entire length of the movie. The ocean shots were beautiful and the dolphin interaction was great.
